It's the story of watching her parents immigrate from Australia in 1984 with three kids, buy a local community ice cream shop, and the lessons that came with it. The business lessons inside that shop can help all of us in business and life. Here are a handful of the lessons Gemma and I talked about: * Efficiency is an act of love. * The universe may have plans you didn't expect. * Consistency isn't a tactic. It's a legacy. * The partner you choose changes everything. * Showing up isn't optional. * The rigid path is a trap. * Someone saw it before you did. * Legacy is built in the ordinary moments. * Reflection is a competitive advantage. * AI won't replace you. Accepting the output will. --- Gemma is a managing director at Berkadia where she has been a loan originator for 10 years. Prior to that she had over eight years experience underwriting and screening commercial real estate loans.
